Picklists are used to issue parts from inventory that are needed to perform certain work. They are always associated with a Work Order (or W/O Task Card) and an Aircraft. Picklists are issued at the Location where the maintenance is planned, but can be transferred to a different location if the entire planned maintenance for that Work Order is transferred. If the parts that are on a picklist are not available at the inventory store location, a Requisition will be issued. The system can automatically create a Picklist when parts are reserved for a work order. For example, line maintenance on an aircraft requires that specific parts be available (on hand) to perform the line maintenance routine. To get a part issued from the inventory system, it must be processed with one of the issue transactions. There are three types of issues (Manual Issue, Picklist Issue, and Express Issue).

Manual Issue

The Manual Issue program is used to issue parts from the system 'Over the Counter' from a store's location.

Picklist Issue

The Picklist Issue (Picklist Creation) will issue the parts to a Picklist, which will be added to a Work Order.

The Picklist is printed in the stock room (where parts are stored), the parts are collected and are all issued in one transaction.

The Picklist Creation program is used to create a list of parts required for the work to be performed.

Picklist and Requisition Process Flow

If one user attempts to view/edit a Picklist record that is currently being viewed/edited by another user, the following warning will prevent the second user from proceeding. This also applies to the Picklist Supervisor window.

Note: When creating a Picklist, the system validates the Company of the part being Picklisted in inventory against the Company of the Picklist. For example, if a Picklist is created for a 'Company A' record, only available inventory linked to 'Company A' will be considered for the Picklist. For more information, refer to the Multi Company Functionality.

From the Picklist Creation, Informational tab, the In Use checkbox indicates that the Picklist is currently 'In Use'. When the Picklist is marked as 'In Use', the user who has the Picklist locked will be listed to the right of the checkbox. The Unlock Picklist button from the Informational tab is also available when the Picklist is in use. These features are also available in the Picklist Supervisor, Informational tab.

This update window is also available in query mode where users can view the records provided in this window but cannot create new records or edit existing data. Refer to this module's Query menu.
